A one-stage procedure to achieve predictable implant placement and guided bone regeneration.

S tudy objectivesand methods

In thiscase report, simultaneous implant placement and guided bone regeneration using the Straumann® AlloGraft Ring was performed.

The patient's chief concern was a failing bridge in the upper left posterior sextant. The treatment plan included the extraction of tooth No. 13 and placement of dental implants in position Nos. 12 and 13.A Narrow Connection Straumann® Bone Level Tapered Implant was used in position No. 12 and a Regular Connection Straumann® Bone Level Tapered Implant in position No. 13, necessitating the use of a 7-mm diameter Straumann® AlloGraft Ring.

Results

Healing was uneventful; 6 months were allowed for hard- and soft-tissue maturation. Good implant stability was noted for the grafted site. CBCT revealed that the implant in position No. 13 was well positioned and demonstrated complete regeneration of the buccal plate.

Conclusions

The Straumann® AlloGraft Ring enhances the clinician's ability to place a dental implant in a restoratively driven fashion with simultaneous guided bone regeneration.
